Visual Novel Resources (character art, backgrounds, music, etc.)
*We need your help, feel free to post any sites you have found to be helpful for backgrounds, music, or characters and as long its not from somewhere that would be a conflict in interest we will add it to the main post.

So some of you writers or programmers may not be skilled in art or just do not have the time to make your own content for the game so here is a couple sites we recommend for getting your visual novel started (we will continue to update this as we are made aware of more resources)

PLEASE NOTE: make sure that when using content you find out on the internet that the permissions match your projects; there are many "free" images and music that you can use for your personal use but not for commercial so when it doubt do not use it or make sure to ask the owner of the content before using it.

This was a wonderful post! Though it's a little redundant with what's already listed... I was also a little confused as to how that worked, but I got it. X3 The Resource Catalogue was what got me. Nice link.

Does anyone have some grotesque backgrounds and character models? Sort of similar to the type used in Saya no Uta. I would appreciate it if anyone could link some free images like that (for commercial use).
Is there a character creator that makes boy guys and girls in like a visual novel style?

I'd like to know as well, but currently sticking with my plans on how I'll generate characters.

What do you mean with "visual novel style"? Are you looking for a generator with a specific drawing style?

The only thing I can think of that could be what you're looking for is the KHmix character generator found here: http://khmix.sakura.ne.jp/download.shtml (near the top of the page, click the Download button)

Kisekae can make some pretty good female characters. Interface is a bit wonky, since there isn't any tool tips, but you'll get used to it. I've been able to recreate characters from lots of series using this character maker.

That's what I use. You can make guys with it too by setting the presets right.

Damm, I let my excitement get the better of me, bought this after I read a few short reviews because the price was so low.
Now I see that I'm not going to be able to make something serious with this.
It's made for people that can actually design their own characters, backgrounds etc...
If you can't do that or simply don't have the time, you can't really get started with a serious project.
I'm a writer that's currently working on a book and I already have 255 pages on that but I'm not an artist. I consider myself to be a good writer that can come up with interesting stories in a fantasy/mystery setting.
But I definitely can’t design characters and backgrounds, I simply don’t have the time or skill to do that.
And yes, it's good that there are sites that help you a bit with this problem but you would still have to find out what kind of license each one of these images will have before you use it.
Apart from that you'll have to translate many sites before you can use them because they're mostly in Japanese of course.
The program is easy to use and I like the UI but I can't really do much with it at the moment, I guess I'll wait and see if a solution comes along.
I’ll probably play around with it a little longer and post a review stating that it is a great program for artists that are interested in making a VN but that it’s pretty much useless for people like me at the moment.

While I do understand your position its still a pretty viable program for writers like yourself as the biggest complaint in the art is that it is not close enough... while there is still free images out there its all a matter of are they already placed in the library or do you have to place them yourself.

The problem with that is only you know how you want your images to look and we could still be in the wrong that its "not enough" still because it doesnt fit a given style or isnt what someone is looking for. With your talent I am sure that you could convince an artist to pick up your project and I do suggest you check out: http://steamcommunity.com/app/345370/discussions/0/611701360829978801/ as we already had a couple artist give their info that you can look into.

And ofcourse we are wanting to use the steam workshop and if we can get that going that would really make this a side point and the resource thread wouldnt really be needed at that point.

@ElMonarco

When I had purchased this, I thought there was more to it as well. Took me a few days to find a character creator. I found CharacterManaJ (What Yuko is created from) and found tons of usable parts (Eyes, Clothing, Hair, etc) to make characters with... However when I realized each part has a different CC Liscense, and attempting to contact some of the artists (ranging from Chinese, Japanese, German, Korean) it became more clear that CharacterManaJ wouldn't cut it. Seeing a few of the screenshots from some VNs that use these royalty free images (like the bagrounds) didn't slow down my enthusiasm, more so it pushed me to be different. I don't want something I am working so hard on to be just like someone elses... I am no artist, nor a music producer. I did the only thing I could think of doing to be able to be successful, and be my own entity. For 10 characters I am spending around $500 to own all rights to the images etc. Music is going to cost me around 500-700$ depending on how I work it, and background art is a whole different story... So yes making a game that you will OWN and can sell is a whole different ballgame. There are many "Free VN" makers, many "Royalty Free" images and songs, but what can I say when I develop a game made from other people's work? 20 pages of credits and no money to be made...

Yeah long ramble I know, so I came up with some ideas for you good sir.

If you know anyone who likes to draw, check them out. Many of the best bands came from similarly minded people looking to do something big.

Or you can find a bunch of royalty free characters, chop them up into parts (Eyes, Mouth, Hair, clothing etc) and make new characters in photoshop.

Background art isn't as easy, but you can easily take a photo of a empty classroom, or a school yard, a house or what have you and photoshop it and make it look like a cartoon. (Or whatever art style you are working towards)

Music, there are tons of people wanting to get their music out, search around on soundcloud, message some people and ask if you can put their music into a paid game, free advertising for them via credits (If it is good maybe even toss in the song name and composer into the title screen)

Yes RPG maker allows you free art to use, but in the end it is the same artwork anyone with 15$ (or whatever it costs) can use freely.

I personally want to OWN everything in my game, but games (no matter the type) are not easy to make. Game production takes time, money, and people... There are few people that do a 1 man show, but they are far and few between. Most game devs are a 3-5 man show if not more... Ever watch the credits on GTAV? I couldn't sit through the whole thing...

Nothing in life is easy... Well some things are, but I can tell you developing a game is not one of those "easy" things. NOTGTAV is a great example of someone who can code, but sucks at drawing... If I were to make a game from scratch it would be something similar to that... But that is why I am spending some real $$$ to make an amazing looking game... And in the end I probably won't profit, but I will leave people wanting more.

Not trying to sound like I know what I am doing, first timer here but I am pouring my heart (and my wallet) into this, in hopes to see it running on air in Japan as a Anime. I might flop pretty hard, but I will continue doing it because it has become more than a hobby for me now.

I made my original demo with free art and music, the whole 5 minute demo took me 2 weeks to create... I see why most game developers roll in teams.

CC4 allows you to use the works as long as you give "proper" credits to the creator, and do not sell it or what it is used in comercially. You can use it for free, just credit him and do not sell it.

Wait, are you suggesting you ask a musician to make unique music for your commercial VN for free? Because if so, that's a pretty scummy thing to do.

For commercial visual novels, you can't expect to get away with not paying if you want custom assets for your game. Whether you are working in a team or commissioning people, you shouldn't take advantage of them and pay them the money they need to produce art/music/something else for you.

Instead, I suggest you try making free visual novels/games first. Show the world what you're capable of and use the free VN/game you made to show what you can do. This might make it easier to create a team to work on something together, especially since it shows that you managed to complete a project and that you're not just a dreamer who is throwing money around in an attempt to get somewhere without any idea what you're actually doing. It's also really important to learn how to create visual novels before you put financial stakes into creating them. A free game that people can play is also essential if you want to start building an audience before you create a commercial product.

Tl;dr: Don't aim too high before you have a good idea about what you're doing.

While it would be great to pay everyone sometimes the barter system can be an ideal situation both for someone who cant pay and for someone who wants to work in this field. many times writers, artist, and musicians will offer their work to a project if they expect it to do well so that it puts them on the radar for other teams as well as if a team is successful generally the second time around they will hire that person for their next game in order to keep that talent.
